    "Kholstomer" is a work by Leo Tolstoy that has been referred to as "one of the most striking stories in Russian literature". It was started in 1863 and left unfinished until 1886, when it was reworked and published as "Kholstomer: The Story of a Horse". This story prominently features the technique of defamiliarization by adopting the perspective of a horse to expose some of the irrationalities of human conventions.
    Kholstomer's altruistic life is recounted parallel to that of his selfish and useless owner. At the end of the story horse dies but his corpse gives birth to a new life - that of wolf cubs.

    Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
     
    Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
     
    In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
     
    These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

    Take a step. Take a bow. Look around, how far you've come.

    Title: The Dunwich Horror — Part 3 of 10 
    Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1929 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 62 — Part 3 of 10 
    Description: 
    Welcome to Timeless Terrors No. 62, continuing H. P. Lovecraft’s chilling masterpiece of cosmic dread: The Dunwich Horror. 
    The strange occurrences at the Whateley farmhouse intensify. Wilbur Whateley’s unnatural growth and mysterious abilities are only the beginning, as the unseen presence in the attic grows ever more powerful. Shadows move where they should not, the hills tremble with otherworldly force, and the village whispers of terror spread farther than ever. 
    Locked away with his grandfather, Wilbur nurtures a secret that is too vast, too alien, and too hungry to remain hidden. Every sound, every shadow, hints at the approaching horror, and the villagers’ fear grows alongside the incomprehensible forces at work. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings Lovecraft’s cosmic horror vividly to life, exploring the thin boundary between human reality and ancient, unknowable forces. 
    This is Part 3 of a 10-part complete audiobook. Stay tuned — the nightmare continues.

    The Science of Getting Rich is the classic guide to creating wealth through the Law of Attraction. First published in 1910, a hundred years later it inspired Rhonda Byrne's bestselling book and movie, The Secret. According to Wallace D. Wattles, "There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches; once these laws are learned and obeyed by any man, he will get rich with mathematical certainty."
